Mens Freestyle Snowboards

What is a freestyle board, versus a park board?

Freestyle is the broader church. A park board is a specialist built for the terrain park — soft, true twin, jib-focused. A freestyle board carries that playful twin feel but adds enough versatility to ride the whole mountain: side-hits, natural features, spring slush, groomer laps between park runs.

If a park board is for the park, a freestyle board is for a rider who sees the whole mountain as a park. It butters, presses and spins, but it is not helpless when you point it downhill.

Is a freestyle board a good one-board quiver?

For a lot of riders, yes. If you want to progress your freestyle but you are not living in the park, a freestyle or all-mountain-freestyle board is often the smartest single board to own. Playful enough to learn on, capable enough for everything else.

Tell us how you ride and we will help you decide between a pure freestyle board and a true one-board all-rounder.

How do freestyle boards handle Australian conditions?

Well, with the right flex. Australian snow swings from firm mornings to spring slush, and a versatile freestyle shape handles that range better than a specialist. Just avoid going too soft, because our wetter, heavier snow overwhelms an overly soft board. We ride Buller, Falls, Hotham and Thredbo and can steer you to a flex that copes with the full day.

What flex works for freestyle?

Mid-soft is the sweet spot for most. Soft enough to press and butter, stiff enough to hold speed and stomp a landing. Pure jibbers go softer; riders who like bigger jumps and faster all-mountain laps want a touch more backbone. Match it to what you actually do most.

How should a freestyle board be sized?

Usually around true-to-slightly-short for maneuverability, but weight and boot size decide it. Give us your height, weight and boot size and we will nail the length.
